## Description

LPI and ESSL are the codes for Linköping City Airport, an airfield in Östergötland that shares its runway with Saab's aircraft factory and serves as the test base for the JAS 39 Gripen fighter. Scheduled passenger service is limited: KLM Cityhopper links Linköping with Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS), while Sweden's BRA ended its domestic scheduled flights at the close of 2024. There is no commercial cargo handler on site; freight activity centres on the aerospace and MRO sector, with occasional outsize charters tied to defence exports. Routine air cargo for the region is consolidated at Stockholm Arlanda (ARN, about 200 km) or moves as belly load. For forwarders, LPI is an industrial and feeder point rather than a freight gateway.
